anibal hernandez on 11 Mar 10Slaves in the time of George Washington's time were treated with no respect. the slaves would get sold for tobacco and money.also even when the black people were free they would still have to respect all the white people because they weren't treated the same as other free citizens.like there was a woman named Francis and she was a free African American that wasn't treated the same as the whites she would go to court for thingts she would do and wipe her. then she went to court again and they made her become a slave for 10 years. then her owner told her if he dies she was free but that didn't happen to her. the slave owner died and she went back to court because they didn't believe her so the family of the died slave owner got the slave to work for them for the rest of there life.

Slaves were not people (metaphorically speaking). They were property. They were treated like animals. Their masters would often whip them as a lesson of discipline.
